Being the doings and rantings of a Devonian birder of a rather Backward persuasion. May contain wibble. Will contain digressions, tangents, and possibly some stuff about birds. Warning: all opinions voiced within are purely conjectural, all bird identifications are to be assumed erroneous and actually refer to either Mallard [Anas ubiquitus], Common Buzzard [Buteo crowbaiteo], Herring Gull [Larus shiteonyourcarus], Woodpigeon [Columba fatbastardii] or Chaffinch [Fringilla irritatus].

Neeeeeeow!!!
Cue: May.
Cue: Swifts!!
First of the year came zooming past me on my Sunday perambulation - I did not have camera in hand, alas [it came past really nicely, too..] - then, last evening I got a text from the Adder Man, telling of 5 over the next valley. I had a good peer out of my windows, I can tell you! No sooner had I texted back a 'none here' than one hove to in sight, then.. screaming! Woooo!!
[Of note, this is midway between the 2018 and 2019 dates for here]
Today three came through - followed a bit later by 2 House Martins - at work.
:)
Be Seeing You...
